Itās Spring - Letās Grow! š»
March 19th is the official start of Spring, so itās the perfect season to focus on growing thingsā¦with that in mind, I can think of no better topic than growing your newsletter subscribers, engagement and revenue!
Growth should be an important priority for your newsletter, and it certainly is for Newsletter Business. I am grateful for every subscriber we have, and the engagement of our audience was one of the reasons I bought the newsletter and I am committed to rewarding that trust and attention every week. I also know that we have so many more creators and entrepreneurs to reach who can leverage the power of newsletters to create entirely new businesses or to amplify their existing business.
What is your growth goal? As the saying goes, that which is measured is managed. I am focused on growing Newsletter Business beyond the 5,000 subscriber mark and quickly on to 10,000 engaged subscribers, and so our Letter Ops section in this issue is focused on sharing some of the tactics and resources that I am considering in pursuing that mission.
With respect to growth, revenue growth is also welcome and we are fortunate to have several sponsors who have expressed interest in the newsletterā¦including todayās sponsor The Rundown AI! AI is a fast-moving area that content creators cannot afford to ignore, especially in the newsletter arena. Newsletter Business also offers the Letter AI Toolkit to assist in leveraging AI in your newsletter operations.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out to say hello, which has led to some great conversations! Please feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn or X/Twitter, or simply reply to this email and help teach those deliverability algorithms that you love this newsletter!.
Enjoy and see you next issue!
